“I'm not lying,” he replied patiently.

“Liar...” she repeated, now hugging the door like a frightened little porcupine. “I won't... I don't want to go with you...”

He let out a short sigh.

Helena was completely beside herself, yet she refused as if it were her life's mission.

Henrique put his bag and shoes on the floor.

“What do I have to do to make you believe me?” he asked, trying to remain calm.

Helena narrowed her eyes, eyeing him with extreme suspicion.

“Show me your ID,” she decreed, with the posture of a police officer approaching a drunk driver.

Henrique closed his eyes for half a second.

Seriously?

Really?

But, defeated by her, he took his wallet out of his pocket and handed over the document like an obedient citizen.

Helena grabbed the card with both hands, bringing her face close enough to almost touch the ID with her nose.

  • I am Mrs. Ballmer   Chapter 74 - Is he going to kiss her?!

    Henrique discreetly summoned the family butler and ordered him to take Axel's “body” back home safely. With his noisy brother removed, he got up and walked quietly toward the living room.The scene that presented itself before his eyes made the tyrant's heart skip a beat, for on the TV screen, the words “Game Over” flashed softly. On the sofa, Helena and Mateo were lying, fast asleep, tangled up in each other.Henrique slowed his pace, approaching as one would approach a sacred work of art.The girl held the small, soft “white bun” in her protective arms. Her face was relaxed, devoid of the masks she wore during the day. That picture of domestic peace was so powerful that it would make any man want to renounce all fame, money, and prestige just to be able to lie there, in silence, beside them for the rest of his life.In the dining room, Josh, who was struggling to keep his eyes open, watched the scene through the haze of alcohol and saw Henrique lean over Helena. His uncle's face was

  • I am Mrs. Ballmer   Chapter 73 - She was the one who pursued me first

    It was a masterstroke. Henrique didn't just invade his nephew's territory; he completely dominated it, showing who had the power (and the best taste). Helena, of course, found the gesture thoughtful, completely ignoring Josh's culinary castration.Minutes later, the table was set.The five sat down. The atmosphere was... peculiar.Henrique presided at the head of the table. Helena was on his right, with Mateo glued to her (monopolizing her attention). Josh was on the left, sulking. And Axel, the diplomat of chaos, sat at the other end.Luckily, Axel was there. Without him, the silence would have been deadly.“Come on!”Let's liven this up!“ Axel filled the glasses (juice for Mateo and Helena, wine for the others). He raised his glass. ”Let's make a toast! Welcome back home, our big international star! Josh, we hope you conquer the country... and use your head!"Helena raised her glass of juice, smiling at Josh.

    In the kitchen of Josh's mansion.Helena was laughing, watching Josh try to chop onions without crying (and failing miserably), when her phone rang.“Hello? Henrique?”On the other end, the deep, direct voice sounded:“I saw your message. Did something happen?”“Oh, no!” Helena replied quickly, trying to sound casual.“Did you see the message? Please remember to show it to Mateo, okay? I don't want him to worry.”“I showed it to him.” A short pause. “Where are you?”The question was simple, but laden with authority.Helena looked at Josh, who was now wearing sunglasses to cut vegetables, striking a ridiculous pose to make her laugh.“Um... I'm at Josh's house,” she admitted. “I have some work stuff to sort out with him, and since he just got back to the country and was complaining about loneliness, I'm having dinner here to w

  • I am Mrs. Ballmer   Chapter 71 - The enemy sleeps beside you!

    “And then...” continued his younger brother, excitedly. “You weren't careful, you were too intense, and you ended up waking Helena up? Caught red-handed, with no way to explain why you were on top of her, you panicked and used the lamest excuse in the world: you pretended you were sleepwalking?”Axel clapped his hands.“Am I right? That's what happened, isn't it? That's why she called me asking about your medical history!”Axel's ability to fill in the gaps and deduce the truth was frightening. All of this guy's intelligence was wasted on gossip and romantic dramas, instead of being used in business.Henrique slowly looked up and stared at his brother. There was no denial in his eyes. Just a cold acknowledgment that he had been found out.Seeing the resigned expression on his beloved tyrant brother's face, Axel knew immediately that he had hit the nail on the head.“Heavens! I'm a genius!” Axel threw the pillow up in the air, exultant.“Brother, do I know you well or what?! I'm the Sh

  • I am Mrs. Ballmer   Chapter 70 - He couldn't possibly fall for her evil plans...

    It was a legendary and dangerous technique that only elite actors could master. It consisted of using one's own aura, gaze, and rhythm to mentally crush one's scene partner. The dominant actor would “suck” all the air out of the room, making the other feel small, watched, and panicked, leading to abnormal mistakes and mental blocks.Helena wasn't just acting well; she was waging a silent psychological war. She destroyed Sabrina's mind without saying a word outside the script.“I can't use my ‘tricks’ just like that, out of the blue!” Helena rolled her eyes. “This technique consumes a lot of energy and affects the progress of filming.”I needed the perfect situation. Today's scene, with the direct confrontation, was the ideal stage to subdue Sabrina. She asked for it.Josh shuddered slightly, remembering old and unhappy memories.“So... I should feel very honored, right?” He curved his lips

  • I am Mrs. Ballmer   Chapter 69- The truth always prevails.

    Half an hour later.The set was almost empty. Helena had removed her “sick” makeup and was getting ready to leave, exhausted but victorious.The dressing room door opened silently.Camila entered. The mask of the good girl had fallen, revealing her usual cold and calculating face. She crossed her arms over her chest, blocking the exit.“Helena...” Camila began, her voice dripping with disdain. “I really underestimated you. I didn't imagine you would be so cunning as to turn the tables like this.”Helena stopped packing her bag. A slight, ironic smile curved her lips. Her eyes drifted down to Camila's arm, where a bloody scratch—courtesy of Sabrina's outburst—was still visible."Oh, really? I'm the cunning one?Helena took a step forward, blinking with exaggerated innocence.“Funny... Wasn't it you who had that keen and strategic vision, choosing an ally as ‘talented&rs
